During our interview with Arkane Studios’ Harvey Smith, he reveals how he grew sick of Dishonored and that he is unsure if he will return for a third game.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
Former Deviation Games developers have formed a new studio at Sony Interactive Entertainment in order to work on a brand new PlayStation IP.
Well that's an awesome and very surprising turnaround. Cheers to the new studio and what they'll build!
That's..... confusing, so shut down but just reformed and same employer 🤔 sounds like pretty much what happened to Japan Studio basically just being rebranded as Asobi
Good for them that they were able to work it out. Hopefully they're developing something interesting.
Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.
They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move
Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long
I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.
“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”
1 hour later.
“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”
That's unfortunate. The Dishonored series could've gone on to replace the hole the Theif series left after this upcoming second installment.
Guess they want to venture into other IPs then.
I get the impression this is just Harvey Smith getting itchy feet. He was happy to hand Deus Ex over to someone else. He will probably do that with Dishonored, too (hopefully without the 10 year gap)
That's fine, I'm sure we will have another dishonored game in say about 5-6 years. Bethesda would be silly to drop it. This guy would have moved on to something else by then.
Why even ask this now. 2 hasn't even released yet and if the major problems that dragged the first game through the mud are still present in 2 then there shouldn't be a 3rd. That said I really hope they can turn Dishonored around, it had such great potential but it flopped so hard.
That's great news, sometimes COD-ing games is just not the right way to go.
